Hello,I asked this question years ago before website changed I cannot seem to find it.I have the 28hp Smart Trac with a body mount JW3 backhoe.I want to convert it to a 3 point.Someone was nice enough to show me pictures of their conversion but I cannot locate if someone has converted theirs please post some pictures.Also my hoe digs a mean hole as long as there are no roots in hole my question is should this hoe be able to pop a little root mine won't.I am putting out approx 2200lbs of hydraulic pressure on installed gauge.Is this normal for the cheap hoe or maybe something else wrong.Thanks Mike

Welcome back noonie.
First of all, your machine is pretty light to be doing any fast and serious root work so you’ll find you will just have to work at them longer.
Another thing you can do is use a root pick instead of a bucket for the real tough roots. Some even come with a saw tooth section.
As for the mounting, I believe all you have to do is remove the rigid mount framework and reinstall the lift arms and links. The top link remains the same, If I recall.
